Rangers star Jermain Defoe's strike against Livingston has won SPFL goal of the month for October.

The ice-cool finish from the veteran racked up an incredible 48 percent of the vote from footie fans around the country. It is the third time in as many months an Ibrox star has picked up the win after Borna Barisic and Cedric Itten goals won August and September respectively.

Defoe's finish came on the end of a brilliant delivery from James Tavernier as the ex-England, Sunderland and Tottenham legend coolly slotted home without hesitation. Watching the ball the whole way, Defoe instinctively struck first-time.

It was the hitman's 300th career goal and one of his best.

St Mirren midfielder Ethan Erhahon received 17 percent of the vote for an outstanding long-range effort against Aberdeen while Lewis Ferguson's first-time shot for the Dons against Hamilton Accies sealed third with 15 percent of the vote.
